Well.

A very happy thanksgiving to you all, and a very merry birthday to me!

I don't have a whole lot of money, and what I do have is going towards a move in the near future to escape an abusive household.

But for those of you with money, I can think of no better birthday gift than to donate to someone on this list. Some folks aren't lucky enough to enjoy a thanksgiving day this year.

If you can't donate, please share em. We can still get em putta there before the deadline.

Good day to you all.

enough fighting;

Trick or treat, Peri! [I am dressed my normal sona, just with a fake moustache taped on]

* You got: The ghost of the butterscotch-cinnamon pie we baked that one time! Enjoy :]

male mantises are such bimbos I saw this guy miss a bee, then very confidently take a bite of the goldenrod buds he caught instead

they should invent a sandwich in which all the ingredients stay where you put them and not slide out

[Start ID. Two drawings of Hollow Knight OCs in the City of Tears. The first depicts Solper and Caramel, an owlfly and carpenter bee respectively, just before they duel in midair, from a vantage point behind Caramel's shoulder. They're a fair distance from the ground, which is composed of a scattering of large cobblestone islands, partially submerged by a dark sea. They both seem rather enthused, fighting for fun—Caramel has her mantis claw held out to the side and other fist raised, while Solper's sabre is poised beside his head, his other limbs akimbo. The entire drawing and particularly the background are indigo-toned, drenched and shining under perpetual rain.

The second shows Molini, Hawksbeard and Dandy, a millipede, grasshopper and a moth. Molini contentedly sits as the other two use her as a bench, circled around a fire as they've just finished boiling tea, the kettle is propped up on Dandy's nail and settled between two poles taken from Solper and Caramel's battleground. The background is dark enough to appear fully blank, though a handful of lumaflies and the light of a hidden central fire shine upon the three bugs. Hawksbeard is chatting, the others listen, all three holding cups from which pale steam rises in clouds. While the firelight is particularly bright, the tone of the drawing is warm, in both color and feeling. End ID]

March 30 was the first time I'd interacted with @hollypies (feat. their Dandy), and April 5th my earliest memory of @original-character-chaos (feat. his Solper). So I offer a two-weeks-late first-anniversary drawing to my mutuals :]

They seem like a trustworthy bunch.

From L-R; Pollux belongs to @peridots-pixiwolf, Nyxley belongs to me, Saccharin belongs to @mimicspider, and Candy belongs to @flame-shadow. See if you can't spot the thread!

1, 8, and 18 for the asks~!

1: Favorite color to work with

Never really thought about it before! I don’t think I actually have a specific color (maybe greens or reds, but I’m not sure those aren’t just often-used as opposed to well-liked), but the eyestrain, bright yellow/red/teal/blue palette definitely fits the bill, it’s Very fun to use. Gold’s fun to render, too.

8: Show some art from 1-2 years ago

Boye. 1-2 years is a large time frame. I’m taking it to mean anything between one and two years ago, which pretty much lands everything in 2021. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be pieces I actually still like or an accurate representation of that year, I’ll choose the first, as I wouldn’t consider most of it terribly interesting.

Feb 18 - one of my very few lineless pieces, for a person I engaged in frequent art trades with

Sep 4 - yeah we sure are gonna skip seven months, here’s one of the first times I used a non-black color for shading/lineart: a beloved older OC, mosa :]

Sep 28 - A cropped screenshot from a time I tried pixel art again. Surprisingly, it wasn’t connected to any media or world of mine, I just had an idea for an animation (...that did become the basis for a lesser fictional world). Unfortunately the file’s autosave was overwritten and it wasn’t finished, so a couple screenshots and a video of my progress are all that remain of it

18: How long have I been drawing? When did I begin to call myself an artist?

Funny thing is I was just wondering about that. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, I've had long phases of experimenting with clay and origami and pipe cleaners, five years ago I made an art folder for school that was so filled by my various drawings and doodles it's now two inches thick (I carried it around with me everywhere, no matter the circumstance), four years ago I added pixel art to the menagerie, and yet I only actually considered myself an artist two years ago. That was when I was gifted an old art tablet, and thus began what I've previously described as a personal renaissance, as I was allowed access to tools I never used before, diversified and improved, forgot everything I thought I knew about art to learn it again. Fun times.

A birthday gift for my friend @original-character-chaos of his homemade tumblr sexyman! Hope it's a good one!

BEAST ATTACK NOW

Alright followers, sound off! Which side of the Wizards Vs. Skeleton war are you on?

Ah, hello Peri! You asked for HK OCs to draw, so here ya go! Sorry if ya didn't want any from me, the guy whose vessel ya recently drew!

Here's Mattick, the rat bastard. He enjoys tormenting Seer by just generally existing.

He's a beheaded ghost moth! The fire and eyespots are light blue, but other than that standard colors for his species!

They're pretty, no?

This turned out messy (ibispaint decided it would be funny to delete my entire lineart folder) and completely different than expected, but regardless he was really fun to draw and I think it turned out nice!

Three different versions:

Wrong colors from before I realized the fire was blue, one with the right colors and the same shading style, and a blue-focused one!

I couldn't finish the drawing I had of these guys that I started in May, so I made a simpler one!

Feat. vessels Mimic, Thorn, and Briar (left to right)! Thorn is mine and the other two belong to @hollypies and @original-character-chaos respectively!
